Over the course of his career, Tom McGuinness created an extraordinar y and highly personal ar tistic record of the life of a miner in the Nor th East.
Born into the pover ty-stricken community of Witton Park, which was still feeling the effects of the closure of the nearby smelting works at the end of the 19th centur y, McGuinness showed an early talent for drawing. Leaving school in 1940, he held several odd jobs before being conscripted into the mines as a Bevin Boy, to help bolster a shor tfall in the coal industr y left by an aging and dwindling workforce. Throughout the course of his 39 years in the mines, McGuinness worked in many of County Durham’s collieries, and whilst it provided a stable income for him and his family, the ever-looming extremes of mining – the backbreaking work, the constant threat of injur y and death, the harsh conditions – sparked a creative urge in him. The mines proved a power ful inspiration, and he turned his experiences into an impor tant body of ar t.
With the encouragement of his family and his collier y training officer, who spotted him drawing on the side of coal tubs, he enrolled in Darlington School of Ar t in 1944, but all the while continued to educate himself by studying human anatomy and visiting galleries and exhibitions in his own time. In 1948, however, he joined the Spennymoor Settlement – a miners’ education and recreation organisation – and came into the circle of writer Sid Chaplin, ar tist Norman Cornish and Bill Farrell, the Settlement’s director Farrell was an exponent of experiential ar t, and encouraged McGuinness to paint what he knew, which was mining.
A fine draughtsman, McGuinness gradually began to find his unique ar tistic voice by distor ting imager y to power ful emotive effect. Line, tone, colour and composition were exaggerated and twisted to greater express what it felt like to be in the mines. The figures are quite literally shaped by the mines; they become hunch-backed, rounded like the tunnels, their legs skinny and bowed to echo the arching props, whilst unnatural perspectives leave the viewer feeling off-balance and at the mercy of the sloping, twisting, coffin-like spaces, claustrophobic and vulnerable. Vibrant, almost surreal glazed colours heighten the unear thly, almost nightmare quality of his work. McGuinness lived this world ever y day, filling sketchbooks in brief breaks underground; he was a par ticipant in his ar t not merely an obser ver
In 1958, his work was first shown in London at the offices of the Coal Industr y Social Welfare Organisation, and in 1969 he was par t of a collaborative exhibition at The Stone Galler y, Newcastle with Norman Cornish and Josef Herman, who painted the Welsh coalfields. Working in par tnership with an agent, Lord Hirshfield, he secured his first solo London exhibition at the John Whibley Galler y, Cork Street in 1972 and went on to be the star of a BBC Omnibus documentar y. By the time of his death in 2006, McGuinness had held over 50 solo exhibitions, with his work held in public and private collections throughout the world. Despite being made redundant in the early 1980s, McGuinness remained dedicated to por traying the world of the miner and the changing face of the mining communities as the collieries gradually shut down. Today, his work remains a visceral reminder of the lives of generations of men and women in the Nor th East.
Lots 519-522 form par t of a Private Collection. The vendor ’s father, Sidney Lockey, was at Witton Park School with Tom McGuinness and the two remained great friends throughout their lives. Lockey often visited Tom's studio to watch him paint.

“In 1971 I graduated from Boston University School of Fine Ar ts and it was around the same time, my parents travels brought them to Jerusalem were they met Harold Riley and Hannelore, his first wife. The two couples became life-long friends ver y quickly.
My mother spoke about me to Harold and he made the suggestion that I come to England to live for a year with his family and study painting. I lived for the first few months in the main house with the Rileys, including the famous boxer dog Bonzo (see lot 535) and quickly became a par t of the family. When renovations were finished on the house that would become his studio in Salford, I moved there.
At that time, Harold was working on the por trait of Prince Phillip. I was thrilled watching the progression of the work. It was during this time that I decided to focus on the ar t of watercolour painting.
I travelled with the Riley family often, spending time in their Derbyshire house, sometimes driving up to the Lake District or other places of note nearby. We also made a trip all together to Malta.
I had the pleasure and for tune of meeting a great array of people that Harold knew, ranging from ver y well-known celebrities to the local ice cream vendors with whom Harold enjoyed sharing soccer news. Always enter taining and varied, living with the Riley family was a ver y happy time in my life - the dream of a lifetime!”

In 1954 a young Hockney, much enthused by star ting at Bradford College of Ar t the previous year, drew and painted scenes of ever yday life around his home in Bradford. Thus it was subjects close to his hear t that he chose for his first tentative steps into printmaking, which resulted in his early lithographs: “Self Portrait” “Fish and Chip Shop” (depicting The Sea Catch, Eccleshill, Bradford), and the present “Woman with a Sewing Machine”, for which his own mother, Laura, modelled.
Loosely based on the front room in his family home, Hockney depicts his mother seated with hands clasped and looking calmly at the viewer, behind a hand-operated sewing machine amongst a riot of pattern and colour. Comprising six coloured inks (red, yellow, blue, green, pink and black), Hockney adds complexity with sur face pattern rather than depth of space. The intricate checked blue, white and muted green fire surround frames the red and yellow block of his mother ’s blouse, whilst the yellow and red wallpaper offsets the black sewing machine. The design is unified by detailed and precise drawing.
The image reflects the exuberance of the ar tist aged just 17, filled with possibilities and the joy of being allowed to spend his days at college exploring the world of ar t. Learning about great ar tists that came before him, he was perhaps inspired by the likes of Edouard Vuillard, who produced intimate domestic scenes, filled with pattern and texture, that featured his mother, a seamstress.
This lithograph was once owned by Bradford-born ar tist David George Fawcett, with whom Hockney was at school both at Bradford Grammar School and at Bradford College of Ar t. Fawcett went on to gain his teaching diploma at Birmingham Regional College of Ar t before moving to Kent where he taught at Deal Grammar School and Folkestone and Dover Ar t Colleges. Hockney and Fawcett shared a studio for a time in Kent, and Hockney was best man for Fawcett at his wedding. Fawcett worked in an impressionistic style, and exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy, but sadly died in a plane crash in 1973.

Lots 583-618 are the first installment of works from the Estate of Pat Maclaurin (1933-2022)
Pat was born in New Zealand and studied at the Canterbur y School of Ar t. For some years her children’s needs and those of her husband’s medical practice forced a career break, but in 1973 the family moved to south west London and Pat was able to resume and develop her par ticular interests in figurative and por trait painting.
Initially, she got her hand and eye back in at Richmond Adult College, under the tutelage and friendship of Cecil H Bir twhistle (1910-1990), and was soon exhibiting at the local Richmond Ar t Society. During the 1980s, with both her daughters dancing in professional companies, Pat developed a real flair for capturing dancing figures (see lots 590 and 591), and held solo exhibitions at Sadler ’s Wells Theatre, Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, and at Richmond Antiquar y. She also began a lifelong close friendship with fellow ar tist Salliann Putman (b.1937).
During the 1990s and 2000s Pat regularly exhibited at the following exhibitions, winning prizes at the Pastel Society and Royal Institute of Oil Painters: Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, Royal Society of Por trait Painters, New English Ar t Club, Pastel Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Society of Women Ar tists
The par ticipation in these exhibitions led to Pat’s friendships with ar tists including Diana Armfield (b.1920) and Bernard Dunstan (1920-2017) and Mar y Jackson (b.1946) (see lots 606-607) and her husband Tom Coates (1941-2023) (see lots 595-605), who became a par ticular friend and mentor. A special highlight of these years was a group painting trip to Egypt in 1993, led by Tom Coates (see lots 604-605). The subsequent ver y successful group exhibition was held the following year at the Mall Galleries.
During these years Pat attended many shor t courses, travelling regularly to places like Holt and Devon and working under ar tists like Peter Brown (b.1967) (see lots 608 -609). She was also inspired by her regular trips to southern France where her daughter Gilly had a house. For a shor t period in the early (19)90s Pat reduced her signature to her initials WPM, but by about the mid 90s she rever ted to Maclaurin to sign off her works. Her works were selling through the following commercial galleries: Llewellyn Alexander Galler y, Wykeham Galler y, Stockbridge, Oliver Swann Galler y, Hyde Park Galler y, Whibley Galley, Wor thing, Barnes Galler y and Russell Galler y.
In her later years Pat was encouraged in her work by Jason Bowyer until his untimely death in 2019 and by a group of friends led by Salliann Putman. She continued to visit Diana Armfield at her studio in Kew until the last few months of her life.

Literature: “Royal Academy Illustrated”, London, 1978, p. 61
Exhibited: Royal Academy, Summer Exhibition, London,1978, no 981, won the Visitor ’s Prize
Born in London in 1927, Sydney Harpley was a British sculptor known for his depictions of the solitar y female form. Following National Ser vice, he studied sculpture at Hammersmith School of Ar t from 1950-1953, before fur thering his studies at the Royal College of Ar t under sculptor John Skeaping until 1956. During this time, he exhibited in the Young Contemporaries and the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, the beginning of his long career exhibiting nationally and internationally. He was made a Royal Academician in 1981.
Since his early days at ar t college, it was the female form which intrigued Harpley the most as a sculptor, heavily influenced by Edgar Degas. Throughout his career he returned again and again to the solitar y female, be it in the guise of a dancer, an acrobat or a girl on a swing. His bronzes can be found in many collections worldwide.
